Chapter 741 The First Peace Prize
December 7, 7pm.

While the front desk of Shenzhen Peace Hotel was still welcoming the winners who were to arrive later, the housekeeping staff had already notified the winners who had checked in previously that they could first dine at the restaurant on the second floor and then visit the Peace College across the street.

"Excuse me!" A tall woman with rough skin and brown hair asked the customer service staff who had just finished a call in Eagle language, "I just heard you say that the Peace Prize Award Ceremony starts at 19:23? Isn't it :?"

"Hello, ma'am!" The person who answered the phone at the housekeeping department stood up with a smile and explained in Eagle language: "The meeting held at 19:23 will discuss the current and future development of science and technology. At the same time, relevant explanations will be given for the project that won the Peace Prize tonight. The award ceremony will still be at :."

The brown-haired woman continued to ask, "I just heard that we can visit the Peace College across the street now. Is that true?"

"It's true!" The person who answered the phone at the housekeeping department patiently replied, "This is the notice we just received. If you are the winner of this year's Peace Prize, you can bring your passport with you. It's best not to bring other things with you, in case the guards at the door break your things during the inspection."

After she finished speaking, the brown-haired woman put down the large suitcase she was dragging behind her, and in front of some people in the hotel lobby, she took out a thick notebook and a thick black pen from the suitcase.

"Please deliver my suitcase to my room, thank you!" The brown-haired woman stood up and said, then handed the room card to the customer service who had just sat down and made a phone call.

"Please wait!" The customer service staff covered the microphone, quickly glanced at the people in the hall, and then called a familiar doorman over and asked the doorman to help the foreign woman deliver the suitcase.

After putting down her suitcase, the brown-haired woman walked straight out of the Peace Hotel and headed towards the Peace College diagonally opposite.

When she arrived at the gate of Shenzhen Peace College, there was already a long queue.

The brown-haired woman observed for a while and found that there were three sets of computers and cameras at the door to identify the people entering.

Judging from the situation, it might be connected to the immigration system of Kai Tak Airport, which does not allow temporary falsification of passports.

Behind the computer, there are three sets of security equipment and six groups of male and female guards responsible for body searches and checking personal belongings.

In addition to the three lines of men, women, and children from various countries, there was a group of foreigners who were stopped outside by a dozen guards and not allowed to enter.

The brown-haired woman walked through the college gate and walked forward for a distance before throwing the black pen she brought into the wall of Peace College when no one was paying attention.

Without her pen, the woman returned to the gate of Peace College to queue up.

However, when she successfully passed the security check and wanted to go to the left to pick up the black pen, she was shocked to find that there were not only guards standing on the cement road behind the wall, but also several black-backed wolfhounds running around.

Looking back at the section of wall behind us, there were also guards and wolfhounds guarding it.

Just as she was about to go to the left and try to retrieve the pen with a micro camera function, a wolfhound picked up a black stick and handed it to a guard wearing jungle camouflage pants and a dark green short-sleeved top.

Seeing the pen being taken away by the dog, the brown-haired woman had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened and looked at the surrounding buildings and walked into the college.

That afternoon, there were many smart people like this brown-haired woman who threw things into the walls of Shenzhen Peace College.

Those miniature cameras used by special agents are not very dangerous. At most, they can take pictures of the layout inside the Peace College.

As for those experts and professors, they are either working hard in the laboratories in the underground base or waiting to watch the live broadcast of the Peace Prize award ceremony at home. In any case, no one is wandering around the campus.

Among the things thrown into the wall, there are naturally dangerous items.

For example, three single-shot guns disguised as lipsticks!

At dinner time, Zhang Heping went home to eat as usual and did not go to the cafeteria with other staff members.

It’s not that he thinks the food in the cafeteria is not tasty, but he is busy all day and always has to set aside some time to spend with his family.

Of course, there is another important reason for going home for dinner today. Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan, the twin boy and girl, turned 20 today.

"Dad!" The eldest son Zhang Bei held a piece of cake in front of Zhang Heping and said with a smile, "I want to go to the award ceremony, too. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Heping said calmly, "When I asked you to practice martial arts, none of you persisted. Now that we've encountered trouble, you can do nothing but cause trouble."

"Don't you have a gun?" Zhang Bei begged with a smile: "Dad, my shooting skills are still very good. Give me a gun, and I will change my clothes and become a bodyguard. I can just stand by and watch."

"Tonight we're equipped with a stun gun. You've never used that kind of gun, so just stay home and watch the live broadcast." Zhang Heping said, and then glanced at Zhang Long and Zhang Hu who were eager to try, "You too, don't go anywhere tonight!"

"No way!" Zhang Hu said unwillingly, "There are so many guards over there, Dad, just let us go over and take a look!"

Zhang Heping was unmoved. Tang Xin, who was standing beside him, began to blame him, "Last night's plane incident was already annoying enough. You're still bothering your dad with these things. Didn't you see that there are many more bodyguards and guards around the villa than usual?"

Zhang Heping had just taken two bites of cake when he heard his cell phone ringing.

He glanced at the caller ID, hurriedly stood up and left the table, and raised the phone to his ear, but did not speak first.

"Master, I'm back!" The voice of Tang Wei, the technical manager of Umbrella Company, came from the other end of the line. "There is no trace left at the airport over there."

Zhang Heping said calmly: "Well! You've worked hard. You should take a rest for two days."

"Not hard!" Tang Wei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, those two flying..."

"Be careful with your words!" Zhang Heping interrupted the other party's question and walked outside the villa before saying in a deep voice: "Forget about this matter, then it can be considered a successful conclusion. Do you understand?"

After hearing a "hmm" from the other end, Zhang Heping ended the call and looked at the large group of foreigners in the distance and the electric off-road vehicle that was testing anti-missiles next to them.

Just because the country doesn’t give him missiles to test the Eye of God defense system, does it think he can’t advertise in Hong Kong Island?
The Dove Eye air defense system has been exposed, so why keep the Eye of God defense system!

A conference room in the capital.

Elder Li handed a newspaper to Elder Hua who had just come in, and said disdainfully: "The Chinese in Magnesium know how to explain. They directly copied the Peace Group spokesperson's manuscript and said that their navy bombed the passenger plane by mistake after calling the plane many times without success!"

An old man in a white short-sleeved shirt and grey shorts asked, waving a palm-leaf fan, "There were no casualties in the plane shot down on Taiping Mountain. Do you think it was done by the air force sent by the Taiwanese?"

"Whether it was done by the Magnesian guys or not, they are inextricably linked to this!" Mrs. Zheng said, and then she looked at Mr. Hua who had just taken his seat and asked, "Mr. Hua, is the preparation for the award ceremony at Peace College going smoothly?"

Mr. Hua put down the newspaper and said, "We will enter at 6 o'clock, start the discussion at 7 o'clock, and give awards at 11 o'clock at night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Li felt Mr. Hua's gaze on him.

Then Mr. Li nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I have notified all enterprises, institutions and schools in the capital, and they will definitely pay attention to this live broadcast." Mr. Hua then continued, "The Peace Prize is open to all people in the world who have uploaded technical articles to the World Internet Forum, covering eight major fields such as aerospace, physical chemistry, biomedicine, and mechanical intelligence."

"Heping has conducted in-depth research in these eight areas, which can be clearly seen in the responses to past technical consultation letters, the comments on technical articles in the World Internet Forum, and the equipment and products in the factories that cooperate with us."

"After this discussion tonight, I believe more people will see his knowledge in these eight areas."

Mrs. Zheng interrupted, “Are you worried about his future safety?”

"The hijacking and crashing into the community has already happened. It's hard to imagine what will happen next!" Mr. Hua frowned and said solemnly:

"In the past 12 months, Heping has been teaching at Shenzhen Peace College, doing experiments with other experts and assistants, and recording teaching videos. He rarely leaves the college. This shows that he is actually a patient person."

"So, I hope that in the coming days, everyone can support our cooperation project with Heping Group, so that Heping can be busy and have no time to do other things."

"Report, the live broadcast of the Peace Prize Ceremony has begun!" a loud shout came from outside the door.

Mr. Li hurriedly called for someone to come in and turn on the computer, but he didn't expect that Mr. Hua had already stood up and walked to the computer, pressed the power button, and started checking the projection equipment.

"Mr. Hua, have you learned how to tinker with computers?" Old Mrs. Zheng came over curiously.

"You have to learn it even if you don't want to!" Mr. Hua did not talk about the previous topic again, because everyone present supported the investment of Heping Group and knew Zhang Heping's background. Mr. Hua just hoped that they would help persuade others.

"What do you mean you have to learn even if you don't want to?" Mr. Li came over and watched Mr. Hua walk to the computer and fiddle with the mouse. He asked in confusion, "Didn't Secretary Chen go to Shenzhen with you? Doesn't he know how to use a computer?"

"Secretary Chen is Secretary Chen, and I am me!" Mr. Hua relaxed his brows and said with a smile, "Let me tell you, reading news on the World Internet Forum on a computer is richer than reading news in newspapers."

"However, there are a lot of messy news on there, but Heping is unwilling to intervene and is only willing to pay people to reply to the posts and refute the rumors."

Old Mrs. Zheng nodded and said, "I know all that. There are also educational videos and scientific papers on it. My grandson reads me the latest news on it every day."

"Alright!" Mr. Hua saw that the live broadcast on the wall was a little blurry, so he walked over to the projector to adjust it. "Heping also said that after the 4G communication network is rolled out, we can use cameras and computers for remote video conferencing to save time and cost."

When Mr. Li saw his secretary had finished fixing the speakers, he walked to the sofa in the back and said, "I heard that Shenzhen's smart city renovation project is going well. I have to go to Shenzhen one day to take a look."

Mr. Hua returned to his seat, looked at the projection on the wall, and said, "At present, we have only installed some cameras, traffic lights, and alarm devices on the streets. For more intelligent projects, we have to wait until the communication satellite and navigation satellite are launched into space before we can complete this project."

"I think the smart city command center in Shenzhen is well built. There are dozens of screens hanging on the wall, which can monitor the real-time movements in various parts of the city and replay previous videos." Mr. Li continued, "This is very helpful in combating crime and finding missing people."

Seeing how interested Mr. Li was, Mr. Hua smiled and said, "I'm going to Shenzhen in a couple of days. Would you like to come with me to take a look?"

"Shh, the meeting has started!" Old Mrs. Zheng called out, then looked intently at the projection on the wall.

【Welcome to the first Peace Prize Award Ceremony. Before the award ceremony begins, we will hold a discussion meeting on science and technology development, and explain today's winning projects, their future development directions, application areas, etc.】

[Before the meeting, let me talk about the layout of this venue to avoid unexpected situations, congestion, and stampedes. This venue has four exits: east, west, south, and north. The one you just came in is the south exit. The other three are in the direction of my finger...]

When Mr. Li heard the host talking about emergency escape, where the bathroom is, and other precautions, he couldn't help but whispered, "I heard that some award-winning experts in China were not allowed to go?"

Mr. Hua leaned closer to Mr. Li and whispered back, "We were holding an awards ceremony in Hong Kong Island before, and I was worried that they would be in danger if they went there."

"Humph!" Mr. Li said dissatisfiedly: "When sending those experts to Magnesium Country, why weren't they afraid of encountering danger?"

Mr. Hua didn't respond. He wanted to concentrate on watching the live broadcast, but Mr. Li continued, "Someone from the Aerospace Group came to me and said that they wanted to cooperate with the Peace Aerospace Company on satellite launches."

"Their idea is that Shenzhen is hit by typhoons for most of the year, which will definitely delay satellite launches. Jiuquan has good weather, so Peace Aerospace can pull rockets and satellites there for launch."

"It's too troublesome!" Seeing that others were also looking over, Mr. Hua resumed his normal voice and explained, "The rockets used by Peace Aerospace Company involve a large amount of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and long-distance transportation is very dangerous."

"In addition, Heping gave me a blueprint of a deep-water launch platform. Once the launch platform is built, we can use a ship to tow the launch platform and the rocket inside to any sea area with good weather for launch."

An old man in green military pants stood up suddenly and said excitedly: "Can this launch platform be used to carry Dongfeng Express?"

Mr. Hua smiled and said, "There are already military factories in the Northeast that are conducting experiments."

"Hehe!" The old man in green military pants sat back on the sofa and laughed, "We had a submarine successfully launch an intercontinental missile before, but the power of that warhead was too small to deter foreigners!"

"Let's talk about our hybrid rice!" Old Mrs. Zheng reminded.

Then, everyone fell silent again.

[Why was the first prize awarded to the hybrid rice research team? According to the award criteria just mentioned, as long as they have made outstanding contributions to human development and are in the fields of aerospace, physical chemistry, biomedicine, and mechanical intelligence, they can be awarded the first prize.]

[Hybrid rice belongs to the biological field. Since its promotion in 1976, the annual yield increase data has been well documented, and it is expected to alleviate the global food crisis...]

An old man in a white vest couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hua, how much is the first prize?"

"It seems to be 1 million RMB." Mr. Hua responded casually.

"Only 1 million RMB!" The old man in the white vest was a little disappointed. "Advisor Zhang created such a big fanfare, but only gave out such a small amount of money. It's hard to attract top foreign experts!"

Mr. Hua shook his head and said, "He doesn't need top experts. What he needs are experts and assistants who can listen to him and help him do things!"

"Besides, there is no limit on the number of first, second and third prizes each year, only the amount of prize money."

"And the amount of the prize money depends on how much half of the dividends from the Peace Prize Trust Fund are?"

"Think about the 700 billion magnesium peace prize trust fund and the future dividend base. Do you think it's too little?"
